*   `options` **[Object][6]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)

    *   `options.properties` **[Object][6]** translates GeoJSON properties to Feature (optional, default `{}`)

### Examples

```javascript
var poly = turf.polygon([[[125, -30], [145, -30], [145, -20], [125, -20], [125, -30]]]);

var line = turf.polygonToLine(poly);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [line];
```

Returns **([FeatureCollection][4] | [Feature][5]<([LineString][2] | MultiLinestring)>)** converted (Multi)Polygon to (Multi)LineString
